A world-class forensic scientist
Expert in hair and fibre analysis and
DNA techniques helped revolutionized
police investigations worldwide

Ottawa -- A simple demonstration using a red pullover and an
ultraviolet light during one of the United State's most infamous
murder cases helped cement Barry
GAUDETTE's reputation as an
internationally renowned forensic scientist.
While testifying as an expert witness during the 1981 trial of
Wayne WILLIAMS for the murder of several black children in Atlanta,
Mr. GAUDETTE asked members of the jury to pass the sweater back
and forth. Then he switched off the lights in the courtroom and
shone an ultraviolet light on the jury members, revealing fibres
from the pullover all over them..
His testimony made a strong connection between carpet fibres
from Mr. WILLIAMS's residences and vehicles, and fibres found
on several of the young victims, including some whose bodies
were found submerged in water. Soon after, Mr.
WILLIAMS was convicted
as the first black serial killer in the U.S.
"It was a graphic, innovative and very compelling demonstration
that showed how fibre transfer worked, and it led to a conviction,"
said Skip PALENIK, a forensic scientist and president of Microtrace
in Chicago, who was involved in the
WILLIAMS trial.
"Barry's demonstration helped the jury buy into the theory of
fibre transfer... they were hostile to the idea that a black
man could kill other blacks, but it tied
WILLIAMS to the victims.
It was the kind of demonstration that brought science home to
a jury.'' Mr.
GAUDETTE, a native of Edmonton, died in Ottawa
on October 1 after a brief battle with multiple myeloma. He was
At the time of the Atlanta child-murders case, Mr.
GAUDETTE,
a forensic scientist by training, was an expert in hair and fibre
analysis. Later, he would help implement the use of
DNA technology
in Royal Canadian Mounted Police laboratories across Canada.
His findings in hair and fibre analysis and his legwork in
DNA
helped revolutionize police investigative tools in Canada and
around the world, so much so that his work became instrumental
in tracking down society's most feared criminals.
Born in Edmonton on April 2, 1947, the oldest of six children,
Mr. GAUDETTE received an honours bachelor of science degree in
chemistry from the University of Calgary in 1969 and that year
was hired by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to work as a forensic
scientist in its hair and fibre section in Edmonton. In 1971
he married Leslie Ann
CLARK, whom he'd met while the pair worked
at Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd., in Pinawa, Manitoba
He worked for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Edmonton until
1980, during which time he wrote a groundbreaking paper and published
various research articles on the high probability that human
scalp hair comparisons could be used to link persons to crimes.
"His work proved hair comparisons were even more conclusive than
blood," said Ms.
GAUDETTE, an epidemiologist for Health Canada
in Ottawa.
"Barry showed for the first time scientifically that human hair
comparisons were a legitimate type of examination to pursue.
His work put what had been conventional wisdom onto a scientific
footing," adds Mr.
PALENIK, whose company provides expert scientific
analysis and consultation in the area of small-particle analysis.
After undergoing a year's training with the Royal Canadian Mounted
Police in hair and fibre analysis, Mr.
GAUDETTE was accredited
in 1970 as an expert witness and often testified in court cases
in Edmonton and later across Canada and in the United States.
In 1980, he was transferred to Ottawa to be the chief scientist
for hair and fibre analysis at the Royal Canadian Mounted Police's
central forensic laboratory.
"Barry developed the hair and fibre field and brought it to prominence
in the world arena," said John
BOWEN, chief scientific officer
for Royal Canadian Mounted Police Forensic Laboratory Services
in Ottawa, who was trained in hair and fibre analysis by Mr.
GAUDETTE in the mid-1980s.
"He was an individual with a lot of vision, a world-class expert
in his field.'' In the late 1980s, Mr.
GAUDETTE envisioned the
potential of
DNA analysis in forensic science. He helped implement
the technology in Royal Canadian Mounted Police labs across Canada
and worked to promote the national
DNA databank legislation that
came into force in 1997.
"Barry did not invent
DNA testing," said Mr.
PALENIK, "but he
saw that it was a powerful tool that could give investigators
an ultimate kind of identification. Blood, semen and hair were
good, but he recognized that
DNA was as good as a fingerprint.
He was the one who said the Royal Canadian Mounted Police should
put all of its resources into developing
DNA as a forensic tool.
He said 'let's not waste time on our old ways.' "
It's no stretch, said Mr.
PALENIK, to link Mr.
GAUDETTE's work
in DNA to the conviction of many criminals linked to crimes by
their DNA and exoneration of others whose
DNA did not match
DNA
samples taken from crime scenes.
"Barry GAUDETTE made a large contribution to the
DNA business
because it has significantly changed the investigation procedures
in policing," said John
ARNOLD, chief scientist for the Ottawa-based
Canadian Police Research Centre, a collaboration of the National
Research Council, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the Canadian
Association of Chiefs of Police, which was set up to develop
tools for use by police.
"Today, they are solving cases that could never have been solved
before without this kind of technology."
In 1999, Mr.
GAUDETTE became manager of the Canadian Police Research
Centre, where his innovative ways continued. Before retiring
in 2002, he helped develop a website, scheduled to be up and
running next year, to provide Web-based training for police.
He was also involved in developing a cross-Canada standard for
protective equipment worn by police. The standard is expected
to be in place by the end of 2004, Mr.
ARNOLD said.
Even when he was in the twilight years of his career, Mr.
GAUDETTE
had an appetite for fieldwork and was never content to sit in
a cushy office chair and watch his subordinates do all of the
work.
"When some people get into management they don't want to work.
They want to be the one who directs it. That wasn't Barry," Mr.
ARNOLD said.
His stellar reputation led to a position on the U.S./Canada bilateral
counterterrorism research and development committee from 1999
to 2002. He received numerous accolades for his pioneering forensic
work. In 1996, he was awarded the government of Canada Public
Service Award of Excellence, and in 2003 a Golden Jubilee Medal.
Friends and colleagues said that away from the job, Mr.
GAUDETTE
enjoyed time with his family and took part in community affairs.
Mr. GAUDETTE leaves his wife
Leslie and children Lisa, 18, and
Darrell, 22.

He had a passion for big cats
Canadian wildlife biologist pioneered long-running cougar project,
radio-tracked lions in East Africa
By Allison
LAWLORMonday,July 28, 2003 - Page R7
Ian ROSS, a Canadian wildlife biologist whose love of big cats
took him deep into the bush in East Africa, has died after his
small plane crashed in central Kenya. He was 44.
Mr. ROSS was radio-tracking lions in Kenya's Laikipia district
as part of a research study aimed at improving the conservation
of large carnivores in Africa, when the two-seater Husky aircraft
he was a passenger in crashed and burned.
The plane, which was flying at a low altitude in order to allow
him to track the animals, crashed in the early evening of June
29. Mr. ROSS and the American pilot who was flying the plane
were killed instantly, said Laurence
FRANK, director of the Laikipia
Predator Project and a research associate at the University of
California at Berkeley.
Mr. ROSS, who arrived in Kenya from Calgary in January, had intended
to stay there working on the project for at least a year.
"He had this real passion for big cats. He wanted to study them
around the world," said Vivian
PHARIS, who sits on the board
of directors at the Alberta Wilderness Association, of which
Mr. ROSS was a member for close to 20 years.
"Large carnivores are interesting because their populations tend
to be the first to suffer from human activities," Mr.
ROSS said
a few years ago in a short article written on the occasion of
a high-school reunion. "They require huge land areas and some
of their characteristics are very similar to and conflict with
our own."
Although Mr.
ROSS had spent considerable time in the field researching
several wild animals, including lions, grizzly bears and moose,
Mr. ROSS was best known for his expertise on cougars.
In the mid-1990s, he and colleague Martin
JALKOTZY, with whom
he ran a small Calgary-based consulting firm called Arc Wildlife
Services, completed a 14-year study on cougars.
The study, considered the longest-running cougar project and
the most intensive of its kind, looked at everything from cougar
population dynamics, to the effects of hunting, to food and habitat
use.
The intensive fieldwork took place in the winter in the foothills
of Alberta. Winter allowed the researchers to follow a cougar's
tracks in the snow. Once a cat was tracked, with the help of
dogs, the animal would be tranquillized before it was radio-collared
and its measurements were taken.
"We worked really well as a team," Mr.
JALKOTZY said. "It was
something Ian did quite well."
The cougar project received wide public attention when Mr.
ROSS
appeared on Canadian Broadcasting Corporation Radio's Morningside
with Peter
GZOWSKI and Arthur
BLACK, the former Canadian Broadcasting
CorporationRadio host, followed along with Mr.
ROSS and Mr.
JALKOTZY while they radio-collared a cougar. Mr.
BLACK recorded
the event for his program Basic Black.
In the mid-1980s, not long after Mr.
ROSS became involved in
the study, he lost his friend and mentor Orvall
PALL.
Mr.PALL
was killed in a plane crash while tracking bighorn sheep in Alberta.
At the time of his death he was working with Mr.
ROSS and Mr.
JALKOTZY on the cougar project.
Over the years, Mr.
ROSS, who was described as quiet and unassuming,
made a number of public presentations on the cougar study. He
was especially in demand in 2001 after a woman was killed by
a cougar while cross-country skiing near Banff, Alberta.
"Ian really believed in public education," believing it was the
first step toward conservation, Mr.
JALKOTZY said. Speaking publicly
also helped to raise money, from individual donors, corporations
and other sources, for the independent study.
Mr. ROSS also did a lot of work with Alberta Fish and Wildlife
and was instrumental, along with Mr.
JALKOTZY, in getting the
province to adopt a new cougar wildlife management plan to control
hunting.
Ian ROSS was born on December 16, 1958, in Goderich, Ontario
He was the third of four children born to Burns and Ruth
ROSS.
Childhood was spent in the fields of Huron County near his home,
climbing through muskrat swamps and collecting pelts and animal
skulls.
After high school, Mr.
ROSS left Goderich for Guelph, Ontario,
where he studied wildlife biology. In 1982, he graduated from
the University of Guelph with an honours degree. Soon after,
he packed up his pickup truck with all his possessions and drove
west to Alberta. After a short stint working as a beekeeper in
the Peace River area, he was hired by a small private consulting
firm in Calgary as a wildlife biologist and started studying
grizzly bears and moose.
In 1984, he married Sheri
MacLAREN, also from Goderich. The couple
separated in January, 2002.
Over the course of his career, Mr.
ROSS figured he had captured
and released more than 1,000 large mammals including bighorn
sheep, cougars and grizzlies, for research. Not afraid of large
animals, he captured and collared his first leopard two days
before he died.
Andrew ROSS recalls one time his older brother was injured by
a moose when it kicked him in the face after being sedated. He
was left bruised and with a cracked cheekbone.
"He was extremely meticulous and careful," Dr.
FRANK said, referring
to Mr. ROSS's work.
Through his consulting firm, Mr.
ROSS conducted numerous environmental
impact studies in western and northern Canada for the oil industry
and government. The work required Mr.
ROSS to spend a lot more
time at his office desk instead of in the field where he felt
his true talent was.
"Working with these large animals is very exciting and also very
dangerous," Dr.
FRANK said.
Mr. ROSS loved being in the field but hated what he had to do
to the animals. He knew that by capturing the large predators
he was causing them trauma, but he strongly believed that what
he was doing was for the benefit of research and in the end the
benefit of the animals, Dr.
FRANK said.
"He was just so aware of the animal's experience, the animal's
dignity, if you can put it that way," Dr.
FRANK said.
Mr. ROSS spent the spring of 2002 working in northern British
Columbia capturing grizzly bears for research. The job meant
Mr. ROSS, a man small in stature but strong and wiry, and a pilot
would fly low over an area in a helicopter trying to spot bears.
Once they had, Mr.
ROSS's job was to lean out of the plane, secure
in his harness and dart the animal with a tranquillizer. After
the animal was sedated, they would circle back, land the plane
and eventually radio collar the animal.
"He had great capture skills," Mr.
JALKOTZY said.
Aside from being a committed conservationist, Mr.
ROSS was also
an avid hunter and enjoyed hunting elk, moose and deer. But he
vigorously opposed the trophy killing of wolves, bears and cougars.
Andrew ROSS recalls that when his brother went moose hunting,
deep in the woods, he would only bring three bullets with him.
He figured that if he couldn't kill an animal with those, he
didn't deserve to get one.
"He would often get the moose with one bullet," Andrew
ROSS said.
While he loved to hunt, he never went out in an area he was studying,
considering that to be a conflict of interest, his brother said.
"Ian cared passionately about wildlife and wild country," and
tried to do what he could to conserve it, Mr.
JALKOTZY said.
Next month, Mr.
ROSS's ashes will be dispersed in Alberta's Kananaskis
country, where he had spent so much time with the cougars.
